The Ninth Wave / Rumble-Still-Skins

Natural Light - Full Album

Arthur C. Lee was born in the tropical island of Guam to a Korean father and a native mother who met on a farm that grew melons, mangos and avocados. Moving their family of five from the coconut trees of Guam to the tall Douglas-firs of Portland OR in the summer of 1989, his parents looked for ‘better opportunities and to experience the four seasons’. It was a significant change for Lee that would forever shape him as he learned to adapt and assimilate in foreign land. Writing and performing since he was 13, his music is not unlike his move to the US. It’s an exploration of different styles and genres he’s encountered all while trying to make it his own. From blues to folk, and from jazz to rock, you can still hear the coconut trees and sandy beaches of his island roots that he hasn’t forgotten; a vibe that permeates and runs deep in his songs.

Songs for my pets

Balancing expression with precision, articulating a feeling in a song without sounding trite or corny,  capturing a picture of a moment embedded in your subconscious. Arthur C. Lee is a soulful perfectionist. Someone so concerned with capturing balance and clarity rarely achieves magic in a recording studio.  Lee manages to take his songs meticulously to the point where they are a pure representation of his intention while retaining the heart with which they beat.

History of... sounds like a record that took a long time to write and produce without sacrificing the alchemy that happens in between thought. It's the expression of a person who is looking back to find reasons why they are who they are.  Lee's clearly influenced by the music and culture of the Pacific Northwest,  without sounding derivative or contrived. This is a record that could only be made by the man who created it.

The Burning Sun

George Glass is a flailing Charlie Brown foot aimed deadeye at Lucy's football, which isn't a football at all, look closer, it is flatter and it's grayer, and it's squat and it is gritty and it's a rectangle, hard as tooth, a cinderblock that on contact makes toes crumble into plum flesh. 

George Glass is another collapsible night spent sleeping crooked on the floor of the storage closet, or the practice space, or a bored ex-lover's kitchen linoleum, a linen sack of unread headlines and bylines and buried ledes your only timid cushion. 

George Glass is the impacted wail of a baby spending thirty years slithering slow out of its mother, its creeping voice echoed off the walls of her thighs.

George Glass is the split-second afterimage lingering on a boxy woodframed television screen in 1986, when all that remains of the saucy charm and the hardpack body and the teased hair of craven ecstasy is a wisp of light that may exist only in your eye.

George Glass is the point at which one more band bio on one more one-sheet could do nothing but break the sturdy spine of the world.

George Glass is a band from Los Angeles.

“How come my heart feels cracked open...”  There’s no wonder why Arthur Lee Land’s 4th album Cracked Open, offers an exciting invitation for the musically adventurous to discover a boundless, transcendent world.  Arthur’s groundbreaking style is driven by the integration of sophisticated musical, emotional and spiritual juxtapositions. It’s been said; “Every one of these songs sticks to your soul….” 

Whether it’s our own world or the world at large falling apart around us, Cracked Open speaks of the suffering and the transformation that is taking place in these times of uncertainty. Ironically for Arthur, shortly after finishing the album, it was losing his voice completely, finding a polyp on his vocal cord (and the miraculous healing without surgery 6 months later), relocating back to Colorado and then being diagnosed with Graves (Hyperthyroid) Disease that forced him to wait almost two years to finally release this album. Those experiences ultimately became a test of faith that “cracked him open deeply” and in the end strengthened him as a person and an artist.

The veteran singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and unforgettable Loop Artist will release his new 10 song album Cracked Open, May 14, 2013 on Perfect Groove Records.  With 4 music videos already complete, the Cracked Open DVD, scheduled for a fall 2013 release, will give fans all 10 music videos, produced by the cutting edge talent of “Xiren”.   

Musically speaking, Electro-Americana may best describe Arthur Lee Land’s eclectic fusion of folk-rock, worldbeat/bluegrass and electronica, but cannot fully explain the unique dynamics at work when Arthur enters the studio or takes the stage. Arthur’s intuitive collaboration with his lyricist/wife Carol Lee is an integral part of the artistic landscape of Arthur Lee Land …. ”How come my heart feels so cracked open / When the love is running deep / Someday we all will cross over / Maybe right now is all we’ll ever be.” 


This will be the official soundcloud page for the new Lee Arthur album titled Songs For My Pets.

Rain-gaze surf rock from the PNW, echoing the experimental noise pop of Yo La Tengo, raw energy of Wilco, and the introspective soundscapes of Brian Eno.

Arthur C. Lee is a man out of time. Stepping out of the shadow as a side-man that he has been so known for, the jack of all trades that every band needs, it was time his songs saw the light of day. No stranger to bigger venues as the multi-instrumentalist with Sean Flinn and the Royal We, Ezza Rose, et al, Lee worked out new songs for his 2nd full length at smaller shows and open-mics, giving him the freedom to ease into completing them in an intimate setting. He brought on-board Latin Grammy Award winner Be Hussey as co-producer (Radar Bros, Haunted Summer, Morsel) and their relationship has been fruitful as a building block to a deeper sound. I sit back and marvel at the meticulousness Lee puts into his songs, and the effortlessness and ease of delivery. Listening to these gives me a technicolor experience next to the black and white movie that was his first record, ‘History Of’. Finally out of the side-man’s shadow, he is fully himself on these new songs, and it’s magic. // His band: Anders Bergstrom (Climber, Pacific Mean Time) on drums, Matthew Casebeer (Derby, The Loved) on keys, and Peter Rodocker (Yellow Room Recording) on bass. Scott Magee (Ural Thomas and the Pain, Y La Bamba) also filled in on drums to fit.
